i barely managed to fall asleep last night.

there were a lot of things going on in my head as i walked from my dorm to school. i know as a student, i should only pay attention to my studies, but the whole yerin incident occupied my mind.

right as i entered the school building, i felt someone grab my wrist. at first, i thought i was just hallucinating and i tried to shake it off, but i realized that it wasn't my imagination.

it was woojin.

"woojin?" i raised an eyebrow at him.

"seolhee, come with me for a moment." without another word, he dragged me outside the school.

"what are you doing?" i tried to yank my arm away, but his grip on my wrist was firm.

woojin tugged my arm, "just come with me.."

he brought me to the side of school where it was isolated and quiet. quickly, he released my arm and awkwardly apologized for forcing me outside.

"why did you bring me here?" folding my arms, i spoke up.

"i wanted to talk about yesterday—" he opened his mouth to say something else, but my phone interrupted him.

i looked at woojin, "sorry, one second."

he nodded and i took out my phone; checking to see if i received a text or something.

eyebrows creasing to form a frown, i pressed my lips together as i stared at my phone in confusion.

"seolhee...?" woojin came closer towards me; alarming me.

"oh, uhh.. sorry.." i attempted to put away my phone, but i was eventually stopped by woojin. his hand tightly gripped onto my wrist and with his other hand, he snatched my phone away.

"woojin..! hey—!" i tried taking my phone back, but it was out of my reach.

as woojin held my phone up high, he seemed to be reading my conversation with 'yerin'. "hmm... i see my name in the conversation and the other person seems to know that i'm with you... that's lowkey creepy.." his brows knitted into a frown and he asked, "so... is this yerin imposter you mentioned..?"
